Adopted novel Chapter 49

I have been laying on the floor for over three hours crying nonstop and I haven't heard the door opening to announce the arrival of sky, I have to apologize to him for been a bitch and beg him not to leave me by myself in this forsaken world. I can't keep living my life when I know he's mad at me and I pushed him away. I want him to know how very sorry I am, so I picked up my phone to try calling him but his number isn't going through. I keep trying still the same response, I decided to go find him looking at the time on my phone its 9pm and I know he can only visit a place that is the playground on the way to the city. We found the place when we were ten and since then it has been our get away from people. Pairing my jean and t-shirt with a Gucci leather slip on I go out of my room, pick up a memo paper I drop a short note for him in case he arrives before me and leaves the house while I keep trying his number on my way.

I walked for almost 45min before I got to the playground which is empty, I feel the pains in my chest resurfacing and I keep hoping he is fine. The orphanage is the next place he will be and it is almost three hours walk from where I am and I will have to pass the most dangerous place to get there. The place is a secluded road leading to the orphanage and it harbors some dangerous people who tends to take their victims from there but I hope it will be free and I pray it's free of them tonight. It's almost past 10 and I almost on the path, it looked dark and this won't be my first time passing this path, I walk this path with my friends but never alone and here I am doing this alone, the death of Emma hits me again and I sobbed out loud, if she was here I and Sky won't have any argument so I won't be walking this path alone.

The noise of my sobs is enough to give out my location to anyone close by because I was very loud, I tried contacting Sky again and it's saying the same thing. I can only pray he's fine and he doesn't get hurt due to my stupidity. "What is a pretty thing like you doing out here by yourself" a voice called out loudly and footsteps can be heard with laughter's' making me scared, "Please, I am looking for my friend." I said back using my phone flashlight to find the owner of the voice, I saw four guys with smirks on their faces and lit cigars in their mouth they have leather jackets on and they reek of alcohol, "we can be your friend for the night damsel," the blonde one suggests looking with at me like a meal waiting to be devoured.

With a knowing look I shake my head in disapproval "Please let me go I won't pass of here again. "No can-do sweetheart" the dark hair guy replied using his hands to trace the flowing tears making me shiver in disgust. I slapped his hand off which resulted to a slap on my face making me stagger backwards hitting my head on a pole, I felt a sharp pain at the back of my head, I reached to where the pain was and I could only feel something wet and sticky on my hands. That could only be blood I thought to myself, I looked around for my phone that fell off when I was hit in the face but instead I was pushed to the pole by another person entirely who started smooching me I kept pushing him away only to be pushed to the pole harder making me feel more pain I could feel a gash opened in my head and my sight was getting blurry.

I felt two hands by both of my sides picking me up and I was carried to a place I don't know where, I felt my trouser been pulled down, I tried to stop them only to be kicked in the head by another person, "We won't hurt you honey", I heard a voice say. I felt my panties being ripped apart and my t-shirt torn away from my body. I tried to push off weakly on one of them who was on top of me which got me another heavy hit. Still in pain, I felt a sharp pain in between my legs. I screamed out in pain only to be gagged with what felt like a cloth. My hands were held by two other guys, I was losing consciousness and I could hear the grunts of pleasure above me, while all I could feel was pain.

I deserved to be treated with no dignity, because I don't deserve one, I am an orphan an unwanted child who is a no body to the society. If I am to die here who will know, who will Search for me, will the Marshalls find me? will Sky ever forgive me? If I am found, will I be buried like Emma? I prefer death to this life of pain, with death comes peace, I will get to see Emma and I won't be a burden to anyone, everyone will be free of me and the world will be a better place. With that in mind I gave in to the darkness that has been calling me.

I walked into the garden with tears in my eyes, I have never had an argument with Hazel because we always agree on the same thing and this been our first isn't sitting right with me, if Emma was to be alive she will settle this it might not even happen but she isn't and I don't know how to do this on my own.
